Two Avatars on a Mac

I was already doing this, so I know the answer has been posted before and it works but I just upgraded my viewer and consequently, I need to do what ever it was before, again. Unfortunately I can't remember what it was I did do. So if anyone can refresh my memory on how to run two avis on a Mac, I'd be grateful.

There are suggestions out there to run multiple copies of the SL application after editing it to include a -multiple switch to arguments.txt inside the bundle, but I find it's easier just to start SL from the terminal, from a script if you prefer.

/Applications/Second\ Life.app/Contents/MacOS/Second\ Life -multiple >/dev/null 2>&1 &

Thanks but as a seriously non-techie person, that reply has just made my eyes glaze over. I'm kind of dumb and really need a step by step approach.

If you want to do it from the Finder:

1. Go to the Applications folder
2. Right-click on Second Life and select "Show Package Contents"
3. Open the "Contents" folder you see, then "Resources"
4. Double-click the "arguments.txt" file, which will open in TextEdit. Add



to it, then save it.
5. When you want to run SL more than once, instead of going to the "Resources" folder, go to the one called "MacOS" instead, and double-click the file called "Second Life". It's a bit awkward to show package contents every time, so you might want to make an alias to it (right-click, "Make Alias" and then drag that alias to the desktop or something.

Viktoria's suggestion basically does the same thing mind you, only not saving the arguments file. To do it that way, just open the Terminal (in Applications/Utilities) and paste the line given in.
